Educational trends point to a growing need for flexible learning tools that support anyplace, anytime learning. Recent advances in mobile computing present potential avenues for addressing this. Having explored current trends in location-based mobile learning, we will share three projects built on an easy-to-use, open-source augmented reality storytelling platform. The ARIS platform is a mobile application that layers multimedia onto physical locations, using a browser-based editor that allows users to "roll their own" place-based game, tour, or other mobile-based activity. Finally, we will facilitate a structured discussion and brainstorming activity to generate and share other place-based mobile ideas.
